The blues scale is just the minor scale without the 2nd degree and 6th degree and an added half step between the 4th and 5th note. The formula is as follows: Root - minor 3rd - Major 2nd - Major 2nd - minor 3rd - Root.
Exploit this formula every time you see a minor chord. It sounds great over any minor chord. Keep in mind to use the root/1st note of each chord as the root for the scale. Therefore you will be modulating as the chords change but it will add spice to your playing and you will sound a bit "out"...which is a good thing in order to make the solos interesting.
Keep playing !
